These two are pointing out that we just have the first six titles in this series and . . . don’t I feel like doing a little book shopping? Because there are more titles . . . Hint. Hint. How can I resist?

Kids and books are everywhere during buddy reading!

The Red Bicycle: The Extraordinary Story of One Ordinary Bicycle written by Jude Isabella and illustrated by Simone Shin

This Citizen Kid title would make an excellent read aloud in the classroom. One very special bicycle makes its way from North America to West Africa.

Melvis and Elvis written by Dennis Lee and illustrated by Jeremy Tankard

My children were raised on Dennis Lee! I love sharing his work in the classroom too and this title will find a spot next to all of our other Dennis Lee titles in the poetry section on our shelves. Lots of silly here!

The Case of the Stinky Stench written by Josh Funk and illustrated by Brendan Kearney

Another full out fridge adventure. Some suspicious stenches accompany Josh Funk’s delightful rhyming text. Another winner!

I have a student who has recently discovered Notebook of Doom and he loves them. I don’t have them all either and will probably be persuaded to buy more. I enjoyed Hello, Universe, too, such a great story of friendship.

Notebook of Doom is definitely a sought after series by many grades.
I didn’t love Hello, Universe. I wonder if it’s because I read it in e-format. There’s something about electronic books that makes it hard for me to fall in love with.

I have the first Notebook of Doom book for my son to read now that he is reading independently. He is having a really hard time finding a book he likes, and my dream is that he will discover a series which will hook him for awhile. I have never even heard of Dennis Lee!! My library has two of his books so just put them both on hold!
